Hi. My name is Jim and I like to shave!
This board seems to attract folks who like unmoderated discussion. As for me, I am a member at ClubStogie and here. While the heavy moderation at CS bothers me sometimes, the people I have met make it worth staying.
And while the unmoderated nature of this forum is bothersome at times, as it lets asshats and trolls run amuck, I still get much from being here, and have met great people, so that makes it worth staying.
Any unmoderated board is going to have a higher rate of shit-slinging, as there is no moderator to step in and insta-ban someone if they get out of line. Instead, if someone comes on and starts to piss members off, they will get it from multiple directions. That's the nature of an umoderated board.
I already belong to one moderated board, and that's enough for me. So i doubt I would join Cigar Live. When moderated boards start banning the word porn, locking threads down left and right, deleting threads, and get all G-rated on us by telling us we can't have anything that would upset a churchmouse, that starts to gall me.
There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.
That is somewhat classed as a somehwat acceptable travel substiitute, or a "finishing" razor to someone new to straight razors, like myself!!!![]()
However, I will finish off with an old Gillette when I do use my Dovo straight. I ain't got the balls yet to go against the grain anywhere near a major artery.
Once I saw what those Mach III blades cost, I swore I'd never buy another one again.

Hi. My name is Jim and I like to shave!
I've never considered a straight razor.
btw, if you think mach 3's cost alot. I have this 5 plus 1 bladed number and a 4 pack of blades is 13 bucks.
So where did you get the straight razor?
Holy crap those things are expense, a couple of hundred bucks for the kit, screw it, I'll stick with my 3 dollar disposible blades. I have enough expensive hobbies.
I know Dude. I was looking at those things after I saw the price on the Mach IIIs.
I got the Straight at a shop in Detroit. I could have gotten it cheaper on-line, but for my first one, I wanted to get something I know would feel nice in my hands.
I used to get 2 weeks out of 3 blades, sometimes I'd go through 2 blades a week. That's ~ $6-7 a week, X 52 weeks = > $300. So far, I have in the vicinity of $250 invested in razors and parts 'n pieces, a good brush, a few soaps and stuff. I have more coming, but these will do me for life with a few $ in DE blades once a year.
Also, there is absolutely no comparison to how my face feels now after a shave.
EDIT:
If you want to get really fancy, it would be easy to spend $1500 on a razor and $500 on a brush.
Dan, sorry for the threadjack there dude.

Hi. My name is Jim and I like to shave!
I am a brush and mug shaver myself no straight razor tho![]()
My enjoyment of CS has declined drastically over the last few months. All because of drama. I stay out of drama because if it doesn't involve me i don't want to be in it.
really like most member here but their are some who are to quick to chew out someone for simply mistakes Thats why I post so little here
